QTreeView include root in tree

A real QNewbie here ... this is my first foray into Qt programming.

I am trying to list a directory using QTreeView. The example at File browser tree works fine, but I would like to include the root dir in the tree (but no other files from the same level as root). In other words, assuming I am user hovercraft, what I get with the example is:

-bar
-baz
--naz
--naznaz
--naznaznaz
---todd-is-god
-boz
-foo

What I want is:

-hovercraft
--bar
--baz
---naz
---naznaz
---naznaznaz
----todd-is-god
--boz
--foo

Is there a nobrainer way to do this?

Depending on what you need to accomplish this may be as simple as adding a root item yourself beforehand ... another option would be to load the tree from one level higher and reject the user folders and children you don't want but that is less efficient. This is not so much a QT question as a design choice. You could also do something along the lines of having a docking widget or group box around your tree view with the user folder name to identify the contents of the tree.
